The older of the two masts of Horgenzell Mediumwave Transmitter is used for the realization of the desired radiation diagram. It is situated southwest of the main antenna mast and realizes together with it a radiation diagram with a minimum pointing toward Romania in order to prevent jamming a transmitter there working on the same frequency.
As mentioned, it is also insulated against ground, but in opposite to the newer mast guyed in 3 levels.
Originally all its guys were divided by insulators, but its upmost guys were modified in guys without intermediate insulators grounded through coils at the basement of the guys.

The newer of the two masts of Horgenzell Mediumwave Transmitter is used as main antenna. It is as mentioned insulated against ground and guyed in 2 levels. Its guys are just insulated to the mast and not divided by insulators, which is most common for masts insulated against ground, in order to prevent the flow of radio frequency current through the guys, which reduce antenna effiency and distort the radiation diagram.
This task is done at this mast by coils near the guy basements, over which the guys are grounded.
The advantage of guys grounded by coils respect to guys divided by insulators is that no static charges occur, which require especially at tall masts large insulators and their bridging with overvoltage arrestors, which are difficult to maintain.

Horgenzell Mediumwave Transmitter is a facility near Ravensburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany for broadcasting the radio program of Deutschlandfunk on 756 kHz with 100 kW. It uses as antenna a directional antenna consisting of two guyed masts insulated against ground with a height of 120 metres, which were built in 1951 and 1978.

The new Polish longwave transmitter in Solec Kujawski, working on 225 kHz with 1200 kW. It uses an antenna consisting of 2 masts, which are 330 metres respectively 289 metres high. Both masts are grounded and fed through the second topmost guy level with the radio power to be radiated.

For transmitting the radio program from the studio in Warsaw to RCN Konstantynow a directional radio system was used. For it a 76 metres high lattice tower close to the transmitter building was built, which exists still today.

Close to the outmost guy anchor block, there was a small tower with a red lamp on the top in order to mark the span field of the radio mast of RCN Konstantynow at night. As the mast was guyed in three directions, there were 3 such towers.
